So I looked up the domain name, here's some of it:

Domain Name:AAAPEN-COMPANY.ORG
Created On:17-Aug-2012 17:40:38 UTC
Registrant Street1:3193 Pretty View Lane

But I couldn't find the address in mapquest or google maps. But I did find AAA Pen Company ( http://www.aaapencompany.com ), it's the same phone number, but if you look that one up, the domain was registered in Poland.

Domain Name:aaapencompany.com
Administrator:
Aleje Ujazdowskie 20-44

Oh, and out of curiosity, I clicked "Contact us" and sent an email to aaapencompany.com asking for verification. Can't wait to read what they have to say. I had these big red lights come on with $3500/month part time, create a bank account, and the email addys.

So, any thoughts?

Oh, just looked, undeliverable email, so I won't be getting a reply after all.

Hello!

This is 100% a scam! The scammer would send you fake checks have you cash them and then wire the money via western union or money gram. Your bank would eventually find the checks to be fake and you would have to repay the money sent to the scammer.

You will be provided with instruction for opening a separate account which will be used for the job purposes only. We will review financial institutions in your area and will provide you the list of acceptable local banks and credit unions.

Scam. No legitimate company in the world would ask you to open a bank account for them to deposit their money into.

I received an email from this company but as a shipping and receiving company same pay and different emails yes it's definitely a SCAM!!!!!!

You will need to have a bank account in order to process the fund transfers

As far as you need to read really. 'Mule wanted'.
